API:Tokens/it

Versione MediaWiki:

≥ 1.24

API:Tokens module provide tokens required by data-modifying actions such as logging, editing or moving a page, and watching or patrolling changes. For each action, you need a specific type of token. For example: if you want to login to a wiki site via the Action API, you would need a token of type “login” to proceed.

For help in migrating older code, refer to Deprecation of legacy API token parameters
